Now We Know Who Trump Fears... Hint... It's NOT Hillary! [View all]

The problem for Trump is that when debating Bernie there are zero ancillary issues to go after him on to deflect and avoid having to debate actual policy positions, rationales for and against said policy(s) etc. Now Hillary may be able to talk policy, however when it would come to actually "debating" Trump... She would NEVER get the opportunity because the entire affair would be dominated by all of the controversy both past AND present that the Clinton(s) have engendered over the past 25 years or more. Trump debating Hillary would ... BE A CIRCUS in a BAD way for Democrats.... while in contrast, Bernie DEBATING Trump would be a CIRCUS in a good way for Democrats!


The Super Delegates are going to have some soul searching to do come the Convention....



Anyone who denies that is ignoring the obvious.
